20 months.

K. I told myself I was only going to post on the "Big" months... 12, 18, 24... But seriously I can't get enough of this child of mine! 

Seriously, time please stop for him. And please continue to go fast with me (thru this pregnancy). 

Also dear God, thank you for blessing me with this easy child (who still has the difficult moments) but for the most part is way easy. Just so that I will have another one that is a little Devil right?

His....

Fav. Quote: "Where'd it go?" (with his hands up) or "all gone"

Fav. Food: Not sure, he's being adventurous right now and I love it. He's way big into Strawberries and ventured on eating Oatmeal and scrambled eggs. He's being a good eater at the moment.

Fav. Drink: Anything juice. Doesn't really touch water (oops). But will drink mom or dads cause its in a "big" cup. 

Fav. Toy: Ball or his "brin-brin" (motorcycle/car)

Fav. Person: at this moment in time... Me and i'm okay with it. Cause he was on a daddy tangent for a while. (my turn? I think he knows he's about to get booted out)

This booger also loves to run off on me in the store, Loves to make messes (is getting better @ helping me clean them up though :D), Hates nursery and i thought for sure it would be opposite.

But, all in all I do not know where i'd be with out him. Love his guts and I love talking about him (if you couldn't tell?) Cant believe you will be 2 in not time :(

The winner of the tree skirt is PAM (Kristin's Mother). Congratulations PAM!

p.s. I also used random.org great site! 

Grandma Sweats Apple Butter Jam

Over my Aunts Fall break she invited us to help her out with all the Apples she had. It was a good time had by all. We looked a little pissed in some of the pictures. But it was a little hot and we might have gotten a little over our heads. And had a lot going on... Hmm... 

But, its all good.... We got it done 5+ hours later. 

This is the apples we had left! Yes left??? Crazy we only did half!!! The rest we are drying. The picture of the Jam doesn't do it justice. We made 60+ bottles of Jam and 20+ bottles of Apple sauce. Thanks for the good memories Grandma T. 

Fall Break

 

Fall Break. We headed down with the Thacker side to a place called Marysvale. I guess you could call this a tradition in our family. (except for last year)

And this year was our first time with Ryker. He had a blast. Anything that involves the brin-brin (four-wheeler) he is obsessed with. (I think that is partially why Colbey is his favorite)

We did a lot of 4-wheel ridding, card playing, and stuffing our faces. Even though we got rained on the first 2 days we made the best of it. It was pretty nippy until the last day. But threw the wind burns and freezing bodies it was a good time. 

 

 

Ryker did so great on the long 4+ hour 4 wheel ride. He tuckered out and woke up happy as a clam and hung out just great. He's a pro already. 

 

Giveaway Closed.

Secrets... Get your fabric from walmart I made the mistake of going to Hobby Lobby :( 

Also I thought you could only use linen to make this... I used cotton like this girl posted. Worked like a champ! 

Giveaway. -closed

 CLOSED!

Yay! Its my turn to Giveaway... My Madre and I were pondering on what to do for this giveaway. We came up with a tree skirt. (I may or may not have gotten a little over my head, because I waited till the last minute to decide.) It turned out great and I am making another for myself. 

I am so grateful for Kristin's strong example. To bring such good when something so heart wrenching has happened. What a great attitude. I envy that! I love it! Thank you so much for letting us be apart of this! 

To enter: You must comment below with a kind act you did today/this week. And for an extra entree come HERE to give a birthday wish or show love to Baby Ruby June.

Ruby June

These next few days & a few before them I've tried really hard to think of nice things to do to serve others. I wish it came natural...

My Aunt Kristin had a sweet baby girl who graced us with her life for only a short moment (15 days). I've posted of this before here. 

She is honoring Ruby these next couple weeks. I think it is so great! She is doing 15 days of Giveaways and you can go to her blog and click on there links to enter.

To enter you share your random acts of kindness and service you have done that day. 

 

 

There are some fun things they have started to giveaway. This is open to everyone! So go enter!

Plus its a good thing to serve others & to have this on our minds. I feel like I only do this around Christmas time. I'm glad I have another reminder to try and do it constantly.

My giveaway is coming up :D So watch for it! 

Pumpkin Patch

Our Annual Pumpkin Patch with friends. Ryker just loves to run free. Hence there is no need for a stroller with him.

Carter, Nikki, Ellie

 

Dash

Ryker is a little obsessed with animals as of late. He loves to make sounds at them. And honestly has no fear going near them. (born to be a farmer)

Ellie

It was a little crowded. Hence the picture taking was not incredible. But its better than nothin. Good to hang out with friends!

29 and counting...

Last week was Ry's Birthday. Although I round up he's not 30 yet! He says. It was a bitter sweet birthday for him. I think he is in denial about turning 30. 

But... 29 never looked so good.

Look at all those dang candles! Wowsers!

Friends.

(creepy pic) But we never get one all together.

Happy Birthday to a devoted hard working, fun, loving, sweet talkin' Hunk. Love you Ry!

 

 

Wowsers.

Wow. Never would have thought being Prego round 2 would be that difficult. 

I dont get naps when I need them anymore (just when I can get one while Ryker is)

Nausea doesn't help anyones situation. Makes me crazy. 

Ryker does not eat normal meals because of me. 

My Husband try's to stay far away with these wacked hormones. (I think they lash out at night when i'm extremely exhausted)

Laundry & house cleaning are the last thing that is important to me. 

I keep saying to myself "What in the heck am i going to do with i'm huge?" ha. (ultra nervous)

Other than no sleep and an onry wife/mother life is good. I'm so happy the weather is cooling off.

Ryan is busy with work and of course the lovely season of Hunting. (can't wait till ryker is ready to go with him ;) )

Sorry no pics for now. They are all on Insta. Cause I only take pictures with my phone. 

Happy Fall weather!

Call me Crazy.

 

 Yes. Call me Crazy. We have another one on the way. 

I often stop and think... "Can I Really Handle this?"

....Ryker isn't sleeping threw the night. He still takes a bottle, I'm going to have a huge bump soon and he will HAVE TO walk EVERYWHERE! I will have two babies in diapers? (lets pray Ryker potty trains fast)

I will have to give up my craft room. I will continue to feel sleep deprived not to even get started on how much you feel like a cow (with breastfeeding). Wow Dang. 

But... on the bright side, My babies will be close. They will be buddies, and in the long run they will be attending the same school most of the time together. 

I'm excited! The curiosity that is killing me is the Gender... Boy or Girl. Which one do i prefer. Of course I don't care as long as they are strong and healthy.

Ideally I'd say Boy, because i have all the stuff and Ryker could use a brother to beat him up :D And... I know how to handle one (most of the time)

Girl... Awe... I'd love a girl as well. I'd go crazy. Pink Pink Pink. I think once you've had a boy thats all you would think about if you had a girl. Bows, and dresses and shoes. I'd go to town.

But. Curiosity will have to wait...  Until Christmas time. 

Yup we are crazy. But we could not be more excited!

18 months

Sweet boy of mine, I cant believe you are already a year and a half....

Things were crazy about you for.... 

• You can dance better than you dad and mom put together.
• You rub my arm sometimes when you tired and drinking your milk (and its the best thing ever!)
• You totally understand what we are talking about.
• How you imitate your dad when he is on the phone. When he speaks Spanish i think you two sound alike! 
• You give random kisses. (And I cherish each one of them)
• You look at me and mumble as if you know exactly what you are saying.
• Sometimes when we give you loves we tap you on the back and you tap us right back. So cute.
• You love to read and look at books. 
• You are overly obsessed with balls. Particularly the soccer one you have.
• You are very smart when it comes to finding your eyes, ears, teeth and belly.
• You say "I Pooo" when we ask you if you pooped.
• You love Toy Story!
• You love chocolate (i'm sure moms addiction hasn't helped you one bit)
• When we are outside all you want to do is hold the hose or help dad mow the lawn. (You love the riding lawn mower)
• Whenever you get into the pantry all you want is pringles. 
• You are a good grocery shopper... a good chunk of the time. And I am grateful.
• You are very curious and love to pull out anything that has stuff in it. Mostly moms purse and dads wallet. 
• You throw crazy tantrums which we are not a fan of but love you anyway. 

  Love you lots baby boy. I'm sad your growing up so fast. 

 

one year.

To my dearest bro. Happy Hump-day! Cant wait to see you in less than a year!
